8. Prehaeat the oven to 475 degrees F. with the rack in the center position.
9. Place the dough on a cool unfloured work surface and use a heavy rolling pin to roll it to one large 16 inch circle or possibly two 8 to 9 inch circles.
10. The dough should be as thin as possible - no more than 1/8 inch thick.

17. Watch the pizza the last few min of cooking time - this burns quickly.
18. Misc sliced vegetables work well on this.
19. Toast the bean flour in a small pan over medium high heat till lightly browned.
20. Works well without toasting, but the toasting brings out the bean flavor better.
21. Canola oil and garlic poweder work well in absence of extra virgin olive oil.
22. Curry paste can be made by lightly toasting curry pwdr and adding a Tbsp.
23. or possibly two of canola oil.
24. This is a good flatbread with just the curry paste on it.
